My very first eggs!!!

I think you need to wait to at least day 7 or ideal is day 10 to candle. Just be patient.

when I was discouraged about incubating after a heat spike, my friend told me something very true : "It's okay! Even if you hatch ONE, it will still be worth while."

Actually, starting at day three you can see a network of veins beginning and everything progresses at an amazing speed from there. You shouldn't candle a lot.. I think it might delay hatch day ! I would candle day 3 just to see which ones to throw away.

Wow first egg scare number one!!! My power went out last night at 2:30 reported it they said it wouldnt turn back on until five!!!! UGH!!!! I stayed up with my eggs until the power came back on and waited a few minuets to make sure the temp did not spike it was steady at 100 so I went to bed, three hours later i get up and the Temp is 103! then spiked to 105 for like 1 minuet before I got it back down....ugh no break catching for me on this one considering the box was crushed during shipping :'(

Update - Only two started developing one of the two died half way through :'( however!!! Plently of movement and devolopment from my last little egg, day 12 go buddy go!!!!! And I now have a freshly laid ameraucana egg in the bator hoping its fertalized that would be awesome! Because she was caged with an ameraucan roo before I bought her, so there is a slim chance

First time hatching is so exciting and yet stressful at the same time!! Lol. My first time I tried to hatch shipped eggs none of them made it because I had a cheap, unsteady incubator and my eggs were already at a disadvantaged being shipped and all Once I upgraded to a really nice incubator and went with eggs from my local farm, things went a little smoother and I was able to hatch 3 out of 8 eggs (3 were infertile, one quit early, and one quit right before lockdown). We learn as we go and I'm sure the hatch rate will get better each time Good luck with the little one and keep us updated!!

I'm new to incubating eggs myself, I'm using a homemade incubator and paid a pretty price for some eggs anyways it's only been like day 4 and I'm nervous about the hatching rate of course these are shipped eggs I got from eBay, I just hope things go well.
